I am very excited for the next chapter, and I wonder if the 4 beasts resonate to form the 5th beast since in chinese mythology, there are 4 beasts we know, a Vermillion phoenix, white tiger, black tortoise, and azure dragon, and each are related to an element, season, and direction (south,north,east,west). but the 5th beast is a Yellow dragon, who relates to the aether element (the power of the universe), and it's direction is center

it is obviously humans, us humans tend to be a jack of trades when compared to other beasts. I personally fear monsters in stories that have a monstrous form but then take on a more humanoid form. look at bleaches vista lordés, they get smaller and more human like as they get stronger. humans tend to try and do the impossible, look at space stations, who would think in the past that humans can live in orbit of earth. then in this fantasy setting, humans will most likely copy/Mimic/create things related to other beasts, compared to the beast clan since they have pride in their own abilities that they will try and ignore humans as much as possible. but humans will abandoned morals in pursuit of power, but also will have the most pride in themselves to try to beat a beast as a human, it just depends on the person.
